Tour Itinerary:
Day 1: If departing from Lilongwe, Malawi, we meet at approx 09.00 hours at a designated point. Continue to Mchinji (1/2 hr drive). Here we complete immigration formalities and continue to Mwami (Zambian border). From the border it is a short drive to Chipata - Zambia's capital of the Eastern Province. Proceed on a dirt road to the Luangwa Valley - Mfuwe sector. A picnic lunch is enjoyed en route and the estimated time of arrival at the Lodge is mid afternoon. On arrival and after checking in, we enjoy tea and coffee, along the rivers edge. Evening dinner.
Day 2: Tea, coffee and a light snack follow an early morning wake up call. Our aim is to be on our first game drive by 6.15 am. Game drives are done in open safari vehicles, to optimise your pleasure and experience. Drinks and snacks are taken along for your enjoyment whilst in the park. Depending on game sightings, we return to the lodge at 11 for a scrumptious 'brunch'. An afternoon rest then we again head out for our afternoon drive at around 16.00 hours, returning to the lodge at 20.00 hours. Evening Dinner. (Night drives – Luangwa is renowned for the night drives and this is Included in your safari - a powerful spotlight is used to spot nocturnal creatures that frequent this habitat).
Day 3: Tea, coffee and a light snack follow an early morning wake up call. Our aim again is to depart as early as possible. Drinks and snacks are taken with us for your enjoyment whilst in the park. Depending on game sightings, we return to the lodge at 11.00 hours for another delicious 'brunch'. An afternoon rest, swim or visit to one of the local craft stores or tribal textiles is followed by tea, coffee and biscuits. We again head out for our afternoon drive at around 16.00 hours, returning to the lodge at 20.00 hours. Evening Dinner.
Day 4: After a more leisurely start to the morning and a full breakfast, we pack up and depart back to Lilongwe. Departure time is around 09.00 hours. A picnic lunch is eaten en route and estimated time of arrival in Lilongwe city is 15.00 hours. A free drop off service is offered in Lilongwe. Note any cleints remaining in Mfuwe can be droped off in the Mfuwe village, or those needing to catch a bus to Lusaka can be dropped off in Chipata at the bus station.
The Luangwa Valley: 9050 sq km of pristine woodland and riverine vegetation plays host to over 40 mammal and 650 bird species. The South Luangwa has been described as the premier park in Africa foremost for the variety of species seen when visiting. A visit to Malawi and Zambia would be totally incomplete without experiencing the sheer magnitude and delight of this unique area.
